Spring thaw is coming to Central Illinois, and that means extra water in the ground.
When soil becomes saturated, septic systems can struggle to drain properly — which can lead to slow drains, odors, or wet spots in your yard.
A few quick tips:
• Avoid heavy traffic over your drain field
• Spread laundry loads throughout the week
• Fix leaking faucets or running toilets
• Watch for standing water near the septic area
If something seems off, it’s better to check it early before it turns into a bigger problem.
